Angry woman crushes 2 week old kittens with hands [View all]
Kittens killed: 'It's an unconscionable and shocking act'
When Ashley Barnes was accused of stealing an acquaintance's prescription medication last month, police said, the 21-year-old charged into the woman's bedroom near Millsboro and crushed three of the woman's 2-week-old kittens with her hands.
One of the kittens died on the way to the veterinarian. The other two had to be euthanized there.
"It's an unconscionable and shocking act," said Dr. Carol A. Tavani, a board-certified neuropsychiatrist and executive director of Christiana Psychiatric Services, reacting to details in the court documents.
"If she was truly on something, maybe she was under the influence of some substance," Tavani said. "But even so, everybody under the influence of a substance does not become violent and even sadistic, which was the case here. Because if you look at it, this was in retribution for an accusation."
